In Islamic eschatology, Alam e Arwah (Realm of Souls), Alam e Wujood (Realm of Existence), Alam e Barzakh (Intermediary Realm), and Alam e Aakhirat (Hereafter/Afterlife) represent different stages in the journey of the soul. Alam e Arwah is where souls exist before being placed in bodies. Alam e Wujood is the physical world where humans live. Alam e Barzakh is the intermediary realm between death and resurrection, and Alam e Aakhirat is the final eternal realm. [1, 1, 2, 3]

Here’s a more detailed explanation:

• Alam e Arwah (عالم الأرواح): This is the world of souls, where souls exist before being placed in physical bodies in the world. It’s a realm where souls are believed to have a pre-existence, prior to their earthly life. Some interpretations suggest a covenant or agreement between God and the souls in this realm, as mentioned in erfan.ir. [1, 1, 2, 2, 4]
• Alam e Wujood (عالم الوجود): This refers to the physical world, the realm of existence where humans live, experience life, and ultimately die. It is the realm of senses, physical actions, and experiences. [5]
• Alam e Barzakh (عالم البرزخ): This is the realm that souls enter after death and before the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyāmah). It is a barrier or intermediary realm between this world and the afterlife. Some believe it’s a place where souls await resurrection, and can experience things like subtle bodies, food, and places in dreams, according to Scribd. [1, 1, 6, 6, 7, 7, 8, 8, 9]
• Alam e Aakhirat (عالم الآخرة):or Youmul Hashar =یوم الحشر This is the Hereafter, the eternal realm where the final judgment takes place. It’s the final destination for all souls, where they will be judged based on their actions in the physical world (Alam e Wujood) and their state in Alam e Barzakh. [1, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13]

In essence, the soul’s journey, according to Islamic belief, involves moving through these different realms, with each transition marked by significant events and experiences. [5, 11]

“Aalam-e-Hashr” (عالمِ حَشْر) is an Arabic phrase that translates to the state of Doomsday” or “the Day of Resurrection” in English. It refers to the Islamic concept of the Day of Judgment, when all of humanity will be resurrected and judged by God. [1, 1, 2]

Here’s a breakdown: [1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3]

• Aalam (عالم): Means “world” or “state”.
• Hashr (حَشْر): Means “gathering” or “resurrection”.

Therefore, Aalam-e-Hashr signifies the state or world where the resurrection and judgment take place. [1, 2]

[Q-07:172-173]

اور جب تیرے رب نے (عالم ارواح میں) اولادِ آدم کو اُن  کی پشت سے  نکالا ۔اور گواہ بنایا اُن کو۔ خود  اُن کی   جانوں پر (یعنی ان سے پوچھا کہ)، کہ کیا میں تمہارا رب نہیں ہوں۔ اُنہوں نے کہا بیشک۔ہم گواہ ہیں (کہ تو ہمارا پروردگار ہے) ۔ یہ اقرار اس لیے کرایا تھا کہ قیامت کے دن (کہیں یوں نہ) کہنے لگو کہ ہم کو تو اس کی خبر ہی نہ تھی ﴿۱۷۲﴾  یا کہنے لگو کہ شِرک تو پہلے صرف  ہمارے باپ دادا نے کیا تھا۔ اور ہم ان کے بعد ان کی اولاد میں ہوے۔ کیا تو ہمیں اس سبَب پر ہلاک کرتا ہے جو باپ دادا نے کیا ﴿۱۷۳﴾۔
